Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 57 although I don‟t do guys, and a lot of fun. We even played poker a few times at his house. I liked John. Then, I did. Not back in school. He was “God‟s gift”, and he knew it. He was a ninth grader. He wanted us to know it, and treat him deferentially. He could make fun of us, but we were never allowed to make fun of him. There was a drugstore on the corner called Warner‟s. I think it was because Mr. Warner owned it. Right after school, that place was so full of kids you couldn‟t turn around. Jammed. Denny and I used to go there the days we mugged purses. We‟d treat the girls we stole from, since they had no money. Couldn‟t even buy a Cherry Coke. around, huh? Come to think of it, that never got me laid. Makes it look like a bad idea all I was there one day, hoping no one would embarrass me for the same reasons all kids are horrified to be with the crowd they want to be with. John Horaney said something taunting to me. Everyone laughed. To his chagrin, I said something in reply that drew even more laughter. That was on John‟s “no-no” list, so he came over to make me apologize. I‟d just recently started using a word I learned the very hard way when I was younger. Seeing no adults close by, I trotted that word out and let everyone hear it. “Fuck you, Horaney.” Oh, wow! Super “no-no” list! You can‟t say that! Not to a ninth grader! Not one as big as John Horaney! He‟s gonna kick your ass! I‟m positive those were the thoughts on everyone‟s mind. Bill Cady will die in a minute or so. He should‟ve never talked that way to John.

Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 58 There were a number of other ninth graders watching. They wanted to see what John would do to and with this upstart eighth grader. He threatened me, so I repeated what I told him. Then he really threatened me, so I really repeated what I said earlier. He overplayed his hand by pushing it one step too far. “Wanna go outside and settle this, Cady?” He knew that would make me see the light. No way will some smart ass kid in the eighth grade go one on one with a tough ninth grader. He waited for me to apologize. To grovel, so he could magnanimously forgive me. “Let‟s go, asshole.” I pointed toward the door. No way on earth was I going to lose face that bad. I‟d never be able to look those kids in the eye again if I backed down. I was horrified of what I knew would happen. John was gonna kick my ass all over the parking lot. Yet, so strong is peer pressure at that age, I was willing to suffer a vicious beating to avoid being totally ashamed in front of my “friends”. I‟m sure John‟s reasoning was the same, plus he had more to lose. He was a ninth grader. What the hell would everyone say if some punk eighth grader cleaned his clock after getting mouthy? We got to the parking lot and squared off. Funny, guys do that, even when they don‟t know how to box. John sure didn‟t. When I figured I might as well get it over with, I advanced. Stopped all the circling we‟d done so far. We‟d made two or three laps and the only “action” was from the people circling us. They had a crowd mentality, were urging their favorite to kill the other guy. I was thrilled to hear more than the occasional voice backing me up. “Fuck „im up, Cady!” Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
